Four Different Light Modifiers

There are a lot of modifiers on the market today. In this video I talk about four different lighting modifiers that don't get enough press. Those modifiers are the MagMod grid and gel holder system, the Orbis ring flash, the Lastolite Strobo Gobo, and the Saberstrip.
As always, there's more information, links, and discussion on this over at the DEDPXL blog. Here's the post...

    The most revolutionary idea in this video is using an umbrella as a comedy modifier.

    The repeated umbrella falls to drill in a point & the sudden car ramming into the speedlight stand had me reaching for the subscribe button.. then I realized I was already subscribed since God knows when.. you should put out more videos 👍👍👍

    Brilliant video, I do thing there are other, cheaper options to the MagMod. The Lastolite snoot with grids is an amazing modifier for lighting very small areas like bottle labels. Then with some very cheap modifying with tracing paper, gels and homemade cardboard gobos and a bit of imagination the cheap kits of 6 (I think) modifiers are great value, especially if you buy a couple more holders for £7 the pair. Then you just need the Godox Bowen S mount for speedlights and the job's a good 'un your only constraint is your imagination.The strip light look amazing and I’m seriously considering investing in one. Although the image you got with the Orbis was amazing, simply faultless, I can’t see a ring flash being any use to me for still life photography more than the macro ring flash I already have. Great ending, it’s brilliantly see a pro tog who actually looks like he’s enjoying what he does. Just seen the price and the price of shipping! Why, oh why didn’t I order this prior to Brexit? I only have one strobe they fit.

    Amazing Zack, I never use flashes before, I like natural light, but that as well because of the tipe of shooting, but since I want to start doing some portrait, etc.. I'm looking to learn about flash/strobes (artificial light) and your videos are awesome. That being said, in 2018, you still have the same suggestions for light, modifiers, etc.. or it changed, since there's kind a lot new stuff? Thanks a lot for all the great videos, they are great and it's helping me a lot.
